Is it possible to have a quiet vinyl records
Dear Parrot, I have never had the pleasure of listening to an ELP, but from my reading, the laser "reads" not only the signal encoded in an LP but also the dirt in the grooves. The laser cannot differentiate between the two. Therefore, unless the LP is very clean, the resulting signal is contaminated with.... noise. If you own an ELP, perhaps you are in a position to say otherwise. |
I would strongly recommend you look at getting an ultrasonic cleaner. I have used vacuum cleaners in the past and they are useful, but nothing compared to ultrasonic in my mind. Here is one post on the subject, but you can find much more information here and by searching the 'net. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/thumbs-up-for-ultrasonic-record-cleaning |
